Baguettes and Boules: Histories from the Aude Valley

Ten men share their stories of migration to the Aude Valley in the south of France; a life of good food, fine wines, markets, fresh mountain air, lakes and rivers for summer bathing, live music, Cathar castles and new friendships. But their journeys tell of heartbreak, cruelty, prejudice, imprisonment and danger, yet celebrating the richness of their heritage and cultures; coming from Brazil, Malta, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Ireland, the USA and the UK. Their stories tell of economic migration, London in the 60s and 70s, working in family restaurants, a zoo, an opera house, exploring wonderful cities. A passion for motorbikes, playing in bands, food, art, design, dance and rubbing shoulders with the rich and famous.
